July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
Discuss what you know about solstice traditions. Have you ever attended a summer or winter celebration?  I don't particularly remember any summer or winter celebrations. Just USA holidays near certain times of the year. Such as Labor Day and Memorial Day. There is a cross on a hill near one of the towns close to us. We used to gather at the church and march through the streets of the town, up the hill to pray at the cross at sunup on good Friday. I was interested to note, that I did not even ever hear the word solstice until I had my own home and was raising children. After the computer age came in, I did a class in weather, attended one class in the study of stars, and had a chart on the wall about the solstice and movements of the moon. Have to go. Happy Holidays to everyone.  |
